| <p>Apache Commons CLI.</p> |
| |
| <p>The commons-cli package aides in parsing command-line arguments.</p> |
| |
| <p>Allow command-line arguments to be parsed against a descriptor of |
| valid options (long and short), potentially with arguments.</p> |
| |
| <p>command-line arguments may be of the typical {@code String[]} |
| form, but also may be a {@code java.util.List}. Indexes allow |
| for parsing only a portion of the command-line. Also, functionality |
| for parsing the command-line in phases is built in, allowing for |
| 'cvs-style' command-lines, where some global options are specified |
| before a 'command' argument, and command-specific options are |
| specified after the command argument: |
| |
| <code> |
| <pre> |
| myApp -p <port> command -p <printer> |
| </pre> |
| </code> |
